You guys realize that you still need to launch Ubisoft games from uPlay even if you buy them on Steam, right?

I've fully entered "counting down the hours until release uggggh waiting sucks" mode for these games. Why am I such a sucker for them? I'm going to play Unity first, since it's done with newer tech and I'm excited to try a lot of the stuff they added to it, but it's going to be hard waiting to play Rogue. Hoping like hell that Adewale gets to meet Haytham before Shay inevitably kills him.

Edit: they're already pulling the same poo poo that places like EA do by telling you that the standard price of £39.99 is actually a marked down "discount" on the £49.99 that they claim is the RRP (note the RRP is just some bullshit price they make up). I don't think i've ever seen a PC game cost £50. poo poo, even Diablo 3 only cost £40 at launch. Kin fucked around with this message at 21:29 on Nov 6, 2014 |

Yes, however I always preferred getting uplay games through Steam cause Steam does a better job of patching games than Uplay. Ahhhh the nightmarish future where every publisher has their own store is finally coming to fruition.

GreenManGaming had a nice discount code for 23% off recently bringing Unity down to $46ish. Keep an eye out, I'm sure they'll do something like that again soon.

Just a shame that the same discount brings the game to £38.49 in the UK, which is about the normal price for a brand new non discounted PC game. GMG

Lol ubisoft and anyone who is a fan of their terrible games. Only good thing they've done recently was Rayman on the Wii U, and they tried to gently caress that up.

I'm surprised there are people who aren't into the time anomalies, people are always talking about their dream time periods to have a game set in, they introduce a mechanic in which you get to see different eras of assassin gameplay including getting a chance to see what a WWII assassin was like, and people are upset about that for some reason. I mean, every AC has had things that bring it down, but at times it seems like people are looking for things with which to find fault, by hook or by crook.

I'm pretty sure the time anomaly is just going to be "Here's the Eiffel Tower, kill planes on it" with a smattering of talky bits around it, nothing spectacular.

Yeah, it stinks of "here's a mission prompt where the Eiffel Tower's gonna be in a couple of years. Press X to have an instance of you having to climb it and shoot down a german plane. Here's your rank and reward, now here's some more mission markers thrown into your map to do more stuff like that at your leisure."

Like is it a one-off? Will there be others like it? Will they all be WW2 or will there be one in WW1 and the Roman Empire and one where you're fighting dinosaurs or something?

I preordered and Unity is still in my steam list as well. Is there any precedent for how this is going to be handled? Will we still get the game, have it be supported with patches and content (like Freedom Cry, etc), or is the smart money on getting a refund in Gabe Bux and just buying it again on uPlay? I'm a huge fan of rear end Creed and this whole situation really annoys me, actually. That'll sure teach me to give my money to game devs!  edit: Just tried to find the refund option and apparently that's disabled, too.

There is precedent in games being removed from Steam but remaining in libraries for anyone who bought them. Fable 3 is an example that I happen to own (E: And also Mafia 1). I believe The Movies and the Godfather games used to be on Steam but aren't anymore. But the difference here is these are games that aren't even out yet, rather than games that have run the course of their live span, so who the gently caress knows.

Well, here we go, from the Unity steam forum thing: http://steamcommunity.com/app/289650/discussions/0/620696522069995169/quote:From Ubisoft Support: quote:Go into a Ubi live chat with their support or open a ticket. Thats the copy/paste reply they're giving. I dont think its been posted publicly by an employee on their forums yet. So if we're lucky this is all just a HILARIOUS misunderstanding!

I've heard that all three of the big Ubisoft releases this season contain in-app-purchases. Maybe they're running into an old Valve policy or something? Longshot, it's probably Ubisoft being a pack of idiots like EA.

For those complaining about price, you can still get Unity on Nuuvem for 129 Brazilian moon dollars which is about 30 pounds/40 euro/50 USD. Yeah it's not a Steam key, but it's cheaper than direct from uPlay.

I actually read (not sure how credible the source was) that Unity is gonna have microtransactions. A lot of loving nerve to do that after charging $60/$90 for a game. At this point I'm kind of wanting a refund just on principle.

Really, if you're gonna go Nuuvem (And why shouldn't you if they're gonna pull out of Steam?), go Gold edition and still pay less than the standard edition release. $58.50 or so for a $90 purchase.
